Where did you get this list from?
 
mase wrote biggies verse on only you? get the fuk outa here...i read that and stopped reading......
 
The D.O.C. has been a ghostwriter, that's what he's been doing for the last ga-zillion years. It's no secret he wrote from "Blue Carpet Treatment"

Look at the post. Source is right there.

A few are unbelievable (JayZ’s “I Just Wanna Love You” - co-wrote by Mase & Pharell Williams) and a few are unconcievable ( Jay-Z writing Biggie's "Hypnotize" - co-wrote by D-Dot), and some are like huh?? (112’s “Only You” (biggie’s verse) - ghost-wrote by Mase)
 
i have no doubt alot of them are true....for starters the believable ones listed as ghost written arent ghost written at all....like some of jay-z credits on 2001....how is that ghost??? dudes name is all on the record......some of them are just unbeleivable though...
 
They're all true, all these are also properly creditted in CD inserts as such. I've known this forever, but you guys are looking into it too deep.

People don't understand titles and get confused. "Co-Wrote" means you were in the room when the verse was being wrote and contributed. You can contribute half a bar out of a 16 bar song and get a co-writing credit. Now as for the "written by" credits, that means they wrote the whole song.
 
lol that list is full of sh1t, its not called ghostwriting when you get credit for it
 
lol...this is funny.

1) The DOC is a writer for Dr. Dre. So is Snoop. Everybody knows that. The DOC makes his living as a song writer.

2) Everybody knows that Diddy doesn't write rhymes...he writes checks. Why is this a surprise

3) Everybody already knew that Jada was and is one of the most in demand song writers.

4) Everybody knows that Jay wrote Foxy's early stuff, before they fell out.

5) Everybody knows that TI has been writing songs for Bow-Wow lately.


So what big REVELATION did this list make? None that I can see. Just look like someone went through CD booklets, looked at the publishing credits and connected a few dots, and made a few assumptions in the process.

People...Co-writing happens when someone comes up with a hot line for you when you're stuck. If you're in the studio laying down a song, and you get stuck writing a line that rhymes with a particular song, and one of your homies gives you a dope line, THAT'S CO-WRITING. So they gon get a little piece of publishing on that song.

Rap has songwriters as well. Get over it.


You wanna impress me? Find out who FIEND (yes, from No Limit) has been writing for. That's what I want to know.

jody breeze is another southern rapper that is very talented but not givin the attention he deserves. same with smitty. Good look man
 
You mean were truly believable because they've been credit ever since. Nothing shocking or new. If it was something like Jay-Z's "Meet the parents" written by Skillz, then I'll be going "WOW". But this probably was made by some bama.
